OPEN A TABGOLD ACCOUNT - 031 314 1874 MR 112 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 20)    

Hithemhardsunshine, Lunarcam and Cliff Top to match motors but there will be plenty of pressure from other quarters. MAGIC TATTOO (8) was unlucky not to have won his last start when resuming from a spell. Looks well placed here in a fitter state to go one place better. HITHEMHARDSUNSHINE (1) took on much stronger rivals last time out. He has won three times, finished second twice and third once from eight starts over this distance. On previous form he should be fighting out the finish. PRAY FOR RAIN (5) is better than his last start run would suggest. Four of his five career victories have come over this distance. If putting his best foot forward he should prove hard to beat. LUNARCAM (2) has won twice and finished third once from five starts over this course and distance. He may be hard to peg back in the run to the line.
